Delamination Risk with delamination severity score of 20 score: a worked example

Push delamination severity score up to 20 score and the picture changes. This example computes every intermediate figure at that operating point. prioritizing delamination prevention or containment actions

The inputs for this scenario

  • Delamination severity score: 20 score (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 8)
  • Delamination occurrence score: 4 score (unchanged)
  • Delamination detection difficulty score: 5 score (unchanged)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (Delamination Risk = delamination severity score × delamination occurrence score × delamination detection difficulty score) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 10.65 score for delamination risk score, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 20 score for delamination severity score.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 4 score for delamination occurrence score.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 5 score for delamination detection difficulty score.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where delamination severity score sits at 8 score and the headline result is 5.85 score, this scenario comes in 82.05% above the baseline at 10.65 score.
  • It multiplies severity, occurrence, and detection scores into a single delamination risk priority number for ranking failure modes. The value of this scenario is the size of the gap it exposes: that gap, priced out over a year, is the budget you can justify spending to close it.
